Which Diet Food Tastes the Best? Our Taste Test Has the Answer
January 24th, 2012 - Posted by polina
Do you ever wonder how diet meal delivery programs actually taste? We do, and instead of judging by the airbrushed photos of mouthwatering dishes, we tried the meals ourselves and developed the official diet meal delivery taste test. For this independent taste test, we ordered meals from six different diet programs out of pocket, unbeknownst to the diet food companies themselves. Eight men and women tasted meals from breakfast, lunch and dinner of each program, and they didn't shy away from their thoughts. The testers rated the taste of each meal on a scale of 1-10 and included additional comments. These comments ranged anywhere from "I like! Chicken is tender, orzo is delicious, and even the veggies are good!" to "Mushy, weird texture and a little scary."
In the end, BistroMD came out on top with 5 stars for all breakfast, lunch and dinner. Jenny Craig, winner of our last diet taste test back in October 2010, placed second followed by Diet To Go, The Biggest Loser, eDiets and Nutrisystem.

How do I Retrieve my Weight Watchers Lifetime Membership Number?
January 18th, 2012 - Posted by polina
Q: I was a Weight Watchers lifetime member many, many years ago and am interested in re-joining. I do not have my lifetime member card. Could I have it emailed or mailed to my home?
A: If you’ve lost your Weight Watchers lifetime membership number, they can retrieve it, as long as you live in the same area where you signed up. Just call 800-651-6000 or go to the site and email Weight Watchers to get your number. If you have moved away from the area where you signed up, Weight Watchers suggests you fill out a new Lifetime Membership Information Request Form at your new Weight Watchers meeting location.

Keep Your Diet Resolution with this Diet To Go Deal
January 5th, 2012 - Posted by polina
With Diet To Go, dieting doesn't have to be hard nor expensive.

This month, our visitors can take $30 off any meal plan $100 or more with the promo code NEWME30. You can also save 25% on any meal plan that is $75 or more with the promo code NEWYEAR25.
Not only does the food actually taste good, but one of the things we like about Diet To Go is its variety of delivery options. Diet-to-go has physical locations in Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Francisco for pick-up, but you can have your meals shipped to you anywhere in the US. You can also choose whether you want five or seven day meal plans, and whether you want them to be full or partial (i.e just lunch and dinner) plans. For the taste test, we picked up our order at a Walgreens store that was just a couple of blocks away. If you prefer it on your doorstep, that's even more convenient!

With the Fresh Prepared Meals Diet Plan, is there an Option to "Opt Out" of Certain Foods?
December 9th, 2011 - Posted by polina
Q: My husband cannot eat poultry, is the Fresh Prepared Meals plan a good choice? Is there an option to "opt out" on certain foods?
A: Fresh Prepared Meals is a comprehensive meal delivery program that is best for people who prefer a more structured plan. Both the 5-day and 7-day plans feature a standardized meal plan, so if you have very specific dietary needs, the Fresh Prepared Meal program may not be for you. However, there are ways in which you can customize it a little bit more. For example, you can sign into your account each week and select which foods out of their selection you want to receive, giving you the ability to customize your meals a little bit more. Thus, if your husband does not eat poultry, there are ways in which he could choose other foods at the beginning of each week. Read more about Fresh Prepared Meals!
Another great, and low-priced, meal delivery service option would be Nutrisystem, which has special meal plans for men in particular. With Nutrisystem, the meals are more customizable and may be a better option for you. Read more about Nutrisystem here.

July 14th, 2011 - Posted by Sarah
The following is an actual user-submitted question:
Q. Is the eDiets program available for full use on iPad?
A. Sorry to say, iPad doesn't support eDiets. eDiets says it is working on it, but there is no ETA. Your best bet, if possible, is to use your online diet program on a standard computer.
NEW Nutrisystem Flex Plan: Take Weekends off from Diet Food!

Swimsuit season is in full swing, and you might be getting frustrated with adhering to your diet program's strict guidelines. This is why Nutrisystem has introduced a new plan called Flex.

Also, Flex can now include fresh-frozen Nutrisystem foods in addition to the ready-to-go meals already on offer.
Nutrisystem is offering you an awesome deal right now: 15% off Flex plan with fresh-frozen food OR 20% off basic Flex plan, both with free shipping! You don't need a coupon code. All you need to do is follow any link to Nutrisystem from NextAdvisor.com. Yum!
